What Customers Are Saying
The product received mixed reviews. Some found it effective and easy to use for small indoor repairs, praising its smooth application, quick drying, and ability to hold paint. However, many reported issues such as the compound being too thin and runny, sagging or dripping when applied, and taking a long time to fully dry. Some also experienced mold growth after storage. The consensus seems to be that the product may work well for some applications but has significant limitations, especially for larger or outdoor repairs.

Too runny
Would Not RecommendI read the label and I thought it was good for patching a hole in plaster. It just runs out of the hole, took it back and got plaster of Paris, but apparently Lowes doesn't carry a good plaster wall patch. Not that I can find at least.

I would this a freind
Would RecommendIt works fine shapes and sands easy. I have used it for many things. I put up crown moulding in dinning room and living room. One wall was very crooked so I made a templet out of masonite. And made a sweep till I got the shape. It worked fine. My only complaint with storage it has gotten mouldy black and I am afraid to use it.

Ceiling patch
Would RecommendProduct used to repair/fill some old Can lighting holes in the ceiling along with Drywall repair patches. Product worked well, good consistence held on the knife and easily smoothed out on the ceiling, worked very well with the smaller sized patches. On the larger patches the compound appeared too heavy and they came off but applying the mud first held the patch in place to dry and then a second and finish coat was applied. Product still retains its consistence after 10 days of opening using and...

Worked awesome
Would RecommendUsed this under some underlayment to level out a 3/4" out of wack floor. Easy to work with,troweled easily. Worked much better than the cement based stuff Ive used before.
Must get for patching
Would RecommendThis product works so much better than regular spackle. For tough jobs, or the bigger than average hole, use this.

Not for drywall patch
Would Not RecommendThis patch went on thick and was difficult to sand and not easy to work with. Stick with wall board joint compund for drywall instead.

Vertical project application
Would RecommendThis product is not thick enough for vertical projects. It wants to run. I’m sure for horizontal applications it will work well.
